Description From 2004-04-05 16:00:10 
While we can currently support Context documents in Chameleon 1.x through custom
scripting it would be beneficial to have this as a supported capability for
Chameleon in general.  Chameleon would still require a mapfile as it's base - I
think introducing a new method in the Chameleon Class extension to load a
context into the current session would suffice.

Marked as Enhancement.

I am thinking of a CWCLoadContext method in Chameleon class that would check to
see if the moMapObject->oMap is a valid object and load the context into the
existing map object, or create a new, empty map object with suitable defaults
from the chameleon configuration file and then load the context.  This would
also help the new service instance.

Assigning to Sacha to implement, talk to me before you start.

there is now a loadContext function in chameleon.php as part of the application
object.
